RED SHOES!

 I have an undying love for red shoes, even more so after I tried the pair with bows on (below) while wearing my red winter coat :)

H&M have the most beautiful winter collection of reds at the moment, You just want to try every single dress on. Plus their shops looks so very christmasy!

The Yummiest cookies :)

In my attempts to find the perfect soft cookie recipe I found this one. I have made them a few times now and they are lovely :)

• 100g (4 oz) porridge oats
• 125g (5 oz) plain flour
• 2.5ml (½ teaspoon) bicarbonate of soda
• 2.5ml (½ teaspoon) baking powder
• 2.5ml (½ teaspoon) salt
• 50g (2oz) bar milk chocolate, finely grated
• 100g (4 oz) butter at room temperature
• 100g (4 oz) dark brown sugar
• 100g (4oz) caster sugar
• 1 large egg
• 2.5ml (½ teaspoon) vanilla essence
• 115g (4½ oz) chocolate chips

1. Preheat oven to 190°C/375°F/gas mark 5
2. Put the oats into a food processor and whizz to a fine powder 
3. Add flour, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder and salt and mix together 
4. Add grated chocolate
5. Put both sugars into a large bowl with the butter
6. Cream them until fluffy
7. Beat the egg and vanilla together in a cup  
8. Beat this into the creamed butter mixture
9. Add chocolate chips and dry ingredients, mix well with a spoon until everything is mixed in and you have a dough
10. Use your hands to roll into balls the size of ping-pong balls and put them, 5cm apart, on a baking tray.
11. Bake for about ten minutes. They should have a golden colour, but still look a little underdone. If you like them crisp, keep them in a bit longer

They really are yummy cookies, but I'll admit I have tweeked it a little to make it my own......but I can't go letting out my baking secrets now can I ;)
